Education and safety go hand-in-hand. Schools are meant to be havens for learning and growth, where children can explore their potential without fear. But in the digital age, where internet access is prevalent, new challenges emerge for safeguarding young minds online. This is where Fastvue, a cutting-edge solution, steps in, becoming a champion for online child safety in education.


The Department for Education (DfE) have published an updated version of the statutory safeguarding and child protection guidance for schools in England: Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) 2023. The new guidelines put a far greater emphasis on web filtering and monitoring, obligating schools to be able to report on the data gathered by their firewall. Most schools do not have the technical skills in-house, and most Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL’s) are not technical.

Fastvue is a simple to implement, cost-effective, user-friendly reporting tool that means staff don’t need time-consuming expensive technical training or rely on expensive third-party services to be able to analyse internet usage as obligated by KCSiE 2023. Fastvue has been implemented in over 3,500 schools and colleges globally! Learn the ways how Fastvue safeguards Children in Education...
